Last weeks Thursday ride was an old favourite for me. An easy start through Connonley and Carlton to Skipton and then on to Embsay and along the back road via Halton East to Bolton Abbey, before riding back to Glusburn via Ilkley and Silsden.

Disaster struck just after Embasy, when we’re riding single file along a singletrack road. Anyway to cut a long story short, there was a tangle of bikes and a front wheel which had been run over by a car. Luckily nuetral service arrived quickly (in the shape of Andy Wiggins, Skipton Cycling Club. Many thanks to him) and sorted our Paul Fitz with a new wheel and we carried on.

Skipton Cycling Club’s website is now up and running. They are running regular rides 3 times a week. In the spirit of joint cooperation and to get more people cycling, any Skipton Cycling Club member is welcome on any Wheelers ride and vice versa. For any Wheelers that want to tag along on Skipton Cycling Club rides, here are the details -

A friend of the club Sean Mckibben has just started to set up Skipton’s new cycling club.

Skipton Cycling Club will be starting Sunday rides from tomorrow 17th June 2012. Rides will meet at Dave Ferguson Cycles in Skipton at 9.30am and will be approximately 30 miles in length and at a friendly pace. All abilities welcome. South Craven Wheelers are welcome to attend.
